The Politics of Hair was produced on stage by Ka-Hootz at The Box Performance Space in Albuquerque in August, 2008. It was directed by Becca Holmes and features Julie Nagle who creates 13 different roles in 45 minutes. In the play, set in Seattle, Dani, a thirty-something lesbian who just went through a major breakup, decides to go to Alaska to get over her ex-girlfriend but doesn’t want to bring a hair dryer. She visits the Aria Salon in the trendy Capitol Hill neighborhood to see her longtime friend and hairdresser Emmanuel, her Obi Wan Kenobi, her Yoda. Together they make the transition from medium-length to short hair. Dani’s soul is transformed, leading her to newfound happiness and acceptance of herself.
